Are there any resource/API usage limits?

Hello,
We would like to know if there are any resource usage limits, like a maximum number of droplets per account or total aggregated RAM allocated for all droplets. It is a common practice for cloud providers with pay-as-you-go billing to implement some default limits to prevent system abuse.
Also, no rate limits are mentioned in your API documentation.
Thanks!

Apparently things have changed. Digitalocean no longer seems willing to increase the initial limit. Here is a message that I received from Josh @ DO support, it took my 4 days to finally get this answer, so I guess it is as clear as it can get.

Hello,
Great question! Right now as you could tell we do have limitations in place in terms of the amount of droplets you can create. Currently we cannot facilitate droplet increases but, do have plan in the future to allow users to increase that amount. Right now we do not have an exact ETA but, should be happening in the foreseeable future.
